As a result whenever we generate html the resulting html files will all be mangled, even if there was no change to the corresponding markdown file. This passes --eol=lf to pandoc so that it always uses LF no matter the platform, since we never ever seem to use (or even want to use) CRLF at all, so that pandoc will exhibit consistent behaviour on all platforms
